Password match

[tarka <in...@tarka.tv>]

I am currently using the new 1.2 passwordServices and passwordMatcher with a
jdbcRealm to authenticate users. I am using a custom passwordMatcher that
extends the standard passwordMatcher as I need to retrieve the encrypted
passwords back from the bd. 

I have a number scenarios where I need to perform a password check for added
security. For example if the user wants to delete their account I want them
to have to re-enter their password to confirm the action. Basically I'm
looking for a method that returns a boolean to indicate if the password is
correct. All my attempts so far have failed miserably so any suggestions
would be really appreciated.

Thanks

I'm using the standard passwordMatcher so I don't know if it'll work for
you, but the DefaultPasswordService.html#passwordsMatch(java.lang.Object,
java.lang.String) method (
http://shiro.apache.org/static/current/apidocs/org/apache/shiro/authc/credential/DefaultPasswordService.html#passwordsMatch%28java.lang.Object,%20java.lang.String%29)
works for me to do this.
